Properly announcing my next book, The Poisoning of Aurora Finch, a gothic horror romance that is also a loose retelling of du Maurier's Rebecca that turns Mrs Danvers into a MILF love interest! Coming early December 2026!👀

Currently in the hands of alpha readers before I edit again for betas, contacted a cover artist, and I'm feeling so stoked about this book!! It's so much darker and bloodier and spookier and sexier than The Bones We Haunt, my debut novel, and I am excited for y'all to read it.🥹🫶🕸🕷

Do you, your new girlfriend, and the demons that occasionally posses her count as a polycule or what?

The plot plays out like a man sees numerous horrors unfolding before his eyes, and when the horrors offer him a wedding ring, he accepts it, cause why not.

Sure, he's scared, but not enough to not sign up for a guaranteed place in hell.

If it worries you, the demons have many more hosts, but the recurring hosts, included in the intro, are the ones who willingly and actively allow the demons to use their bodies to have a relationship with Samuel. It's a murky situation, but the consent that is continuously negotiated is not part of the horror.

This is an old wip for which I decided to finally make an intro for. If you ever dabbled with mythology, you might notice some names are out of place, but that's because the fake pantheon all picked names from other deities, and even the kingdom being called Eden is part of the "scam".

And gods like Andromeda, Helena and Lysander - they travel and get new names as they go in an organic manner.

I read The Masque of the Red Death for the first time when I was like, 11, and it left a strong impression on me. This reteling is not "I can do it better, I can do it new", but it is me having a conversation with why and how I cannot forget this tale.

WIP introduction

a fantasy novella about two women—one fae, one human—and a childhood deal that irrevocably alters both of their lives.

guys it's time for me to write act three and I'm gonna explode. having freshly read III.i, I wanted to share my thoughts about how I'm thinking of tackling this infamous scene.

I thiiink it is going to start with Hamlet genuinely trying to open up to Ophelia. She has recently decided that she is the one who must kill Claudius, rather than simply expose the murder of her father. She's in an emotional state, is coming back to her room to have a moment of privacy, and comes across Ophelia, seemingly waiting for her after days/weeks of being avoided.

the to be or not to be monologue famously does not use any personal pronouns, which I think will lend itself to Hamlet trying to find connection and support from Ophelia without knowing how to phrase it. however, Ophelia knows that they are being listened to, and the moment she has a chance, she changes the subject to their romance, both out of not knowing what to say and out of wanting to protect Hamlet's private thoughts.

this throws Hamlet off her game even further. she feels like she is being rejected by Ophelia, both romantically and platonically. then, as she struggles through the subject change, she realizes that someone is listening to their conversation, and Ophelia knows it.

part of Hamlet's rudeness towards Ophelia now is overcompensating for her display of clarity and rational thought only minutes before. there is also the underlying betrayal that she feels, that Ophelia did not try to warn her/warn her sooner. she does not know who is listening, but it is en essence setting a ticking clock on Hamlet's goals, because she knows it will get back to Claudius eventually.

✨The ghost-hunting-show-run-by-a-demon wip intro!✨

This was supposed to have been ready around Halloween, but moving to an apartment and health stuff happened, so it ended up greatly delayed.

I just noticed the image quality is not fully loading on standard display, but it does look normal when you see one by one. I also noticed I typed "heavy lifting" in two different ways. It's enough now that you get the meaning.

It's a bit on the longer side, but I hope it will be given a chance to be read.
